Sustainable CT Community Match Fund

Sustainable CT will provide one-to-one matching funds for projects that align with Sustainable CT actions and Community Match Fund projects will help your town earn points towards certification.

We will match up to $25,000, supporting projects with a total value of up to $50,000, and support you in crowdfunding to engage your community and raise the remainder of the project funds. We’ve partnered with ioby (“in our backyards”), a non-profit civic oriented crowdfunding platform to run the match and support fundraising. Find out more.
